NEW CODE BEAM STO

DISCOVER THE FUTURE OF THE ERLANG ECOSYSTEM

Bye Erlang User Conference! Hello Code BEAM STO!

The Erlang Factory conferences have been evolving for the past few years. The origins were about bringing together developers to spread the Erlang love and to share battle stories. Over the years our community has grown beyond Erlang to encompass a more diverse range of languages from the Erlang Ecosystem.

Today, to better reflect this, we are rebranding and aligning our events, including the Erlang User Conference, under a new name Code BEAM belonging to a global family of conferences called Code Sync. We are launching a new Code Sync website with all events, past talks and articles, so we hope you'll visit it soon! And see you at the next conference!

Conference venue

The Erlang User Conference 2016 will be held in the exciting, spacious building of the Münchenbryggeriet. This old building has been a characteristic part of the Stockholm skyline for over 100 years and until 1971 was used as a brewery. Since then, however, the venue has undergone fantastic refits and has seen the building transformed from the historic industrial space of the past into the bright and modern conferencing venue that you see today – marrying the old and the new to create a truly unique experience.

Taxi. Won't save you any time, but it will cost more. The taxi company "Taxi Stockholm" has fixed prices to and from the airport, but make sure you ask for "fixed price". The fixed price for Arlanda to Stockholm City is 520 SEK + surcharges.

Bromma Airport is used mainly for domestic flights. There's a Flygbuss (20 minutes, 75 SEK one-way) and also normal public transport, e.g. you can take bus 152 to the station.

Skavsta and Västerås are two "budget" airports. Take the Flygbuss to town, it's the only sensible option, it costs 139 SEK one-way. They leave whenever a flight arrives.

Public Transport in Stockholm

Stockholm is not a good place to get around by car.

Public transport is excellent, though not cheap. There's a great webpage with timetables, maps and information.

You might also check the Tourist Information. (Tip: the dots above the letters in station names such as Älvsjö are crucial).

Lightning Talks

Like every year, this is your chance to shine for 5 minutes at the ErLounge in the evening of 8 September! Share with the audience your latest project, an interesting topic (preferably tech-related), get feedback on a problem you're working on, or, why not, do a stand-up routine :)
